A point object is kept at (1, 0, 0). A circular plane mirror of radius 1 m is kept in yz-plane such that its centre is at the origin. The reflecting side faces positive x-axis. At which of the following points can the image of the object be seen?

Options:(select one or more)

Answer:
B, D
Solution:

The image is at .

It is seen only from points inside the cone from the image through the mirror edge.

The mirror radius 1 m at distance 1 m from the image gives a half-angle of 45°.

At distance from the image the field radius is at and 3 m at . : radius inside. inside.

(1, 1.5, 1.5): outside.

(-0.5, 0, 0.5) is behind the mirror.

Ans. (B), (D)
